Chapter Two

After put Lilia to bed, Nina decided to do some research on Fabian. What did she have to lose? She had become pretty interested in finding out who the boy was.

Nina brought her laptop over to her beanbag, and sat down, waiting patiently to start up. It sometimes took a bit, her computer wasn't new. She had it since she was thirteen, nearly six years ago. But it was enough, it wasn't that slow. It just wasn't as fast as the new ones.

Once her laptop started, she clicked onto Chrome, and typed in 'Fabian Rutter' under Google. As soon as she searching his name, hundreds of articles popped up. She decided to click on the first one, she wasn't going to scroll through all the listings. The article she clicked on was a biography.

Fabian Rutter was born in Liverpool, England, nearly nineteen years ago to Michelle and Carlisle Rutter. He showed interest in solving mysteries at a very young age, being able to easily crack the cases within 'The Hardy Boys' and 'Nancy Drew'.

As he grew older, he got even more interested in 'sleuthing' around. In high school, he was chosen to take an elite class at a nearby university, which trained him for more complicated detective work. After this course, he decided to take a go at real-life cases, instead of the ones inside his books.

One of the first mysteries he ever solved was finding a child, named Madeline Parker. He had learned that she went missing through the news, and decided to look into the disappearance. Eventually, using all the clues he found, Rutter found Parker locked up in her stepfather's basement.

Rutter went on to solve many other cases, including finding lost chambers that were thought to be nonexistent. He also discovered a few fossils as well, knowing where to look, just by the clues he found along the way.

Rutter currently lives in Liverpool. When we interviewed him, he told us "I'm taking a break of solving mysteries, just for a bit. But if people need my help, I'm never going to say no".

So, what do you think of Fabian Rutter? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Nina felt a bit inspired after reading the article, the guy was only nineteen, just like her. And he was so accomplished, he was finding missing people left and right, as well as hidden treasures! Nina only dreamed of being able to do that, she loved mysteries!

Nina exited the article, and decided to check on another one. The clicked the one right under it. The title read 'Finding Jessica Lynn".

Jessica Lynn, now fourteen, had been missing for nearly four years, vanishing after heading on her way to school. But Fabian Rutter, a young, talented detective, was able to put the pieces together, and get Jessica home.

"My mother used to talk about Jessica," Rutter commented. "Who knew four years later, I would be the one who found her after all this time."

Jessica had been kidnapped by a local, but she had managed to flee. But she had suffered a major head injury, so she was unable to find her way back home. She couldn't even remember her name. She was eventually put into a hospital, miles and miles away from her family.

When she got better, her memories never came back. She still had no clue who she was. So she had no choice but to be sent to a local orphanage, where she stayed for about three years.

"It's was a bit difficult finding her," Rutter explained. "They had no record of her, I thought she was murdered. But I had decided to check a few orphanages just in case, and I'm so glad I did."

After returning home, Jessica gradually got her memories back, the familiar surroundings sending them back to her. Jessica couldn't be more thankful for Rutter.

"Without him, I wouldn't have ever seen my family again. And even though it look four years, I'm just glad to be home."

Fabian Rutter is truly a miracle worker. Who will he help next?

Nina looked at the date on the article, it was about a year ago. She remembered hearing about Jessica Lynn, but she never knew she had been found. She was glad for her, and astonished Fabian was the one who found her. He really was talented.

Nina searched through a few more articles, and couldn't find anything on how to contact him. He could easily find Delaney, way faster than the police ever could. He was obviously skilled in his profession.

She also remembered that the first article, the most current, said he was taking a break. He said he would still help, but Nina wouldn't want to put a burden on someone who did so much work. Though she was desperate to find Delaney.

Nina closed her laptop, and placed it on her dresser. She then laid down, pulling the blankets over her, and shut her light off.

She just really hoped the police found her alive and well, she already missed her best friend.

End of the chapter! Woo! What do you think? Tell me in the comments :)
